SUPERSCRABBLE GAMES – 11-16-17

NOVEMBER 16, 2017, THURSDAY, 10:00a.m. Due to delayed completion of our renovation at the usual venue, we are meeting again at the same location as last month: Residence Inn by Marriott, 15181 Newport Avenue, Tustin 92780. Their office phone is: 714-258-9700. We’ll sing belated or advance “Happy Birthday” during lunchtime for those whose birthday falls in November: RENÉE KAHN, EVELYN DAVIS, JOANNA COHEN, and NANCY BURCH. There’s a special gift for all celebrants who are able to show up. TAKE a friend along to play; just let me know how many by Monday 11-13-17.

Please email maliha.mendoza@gmail.com, text 714-654-4308 or leave a voicemail soon. On Monday 11-13-17, I need to submit the number of players who are attending the games to the Residence Inn coordinator, Janis Belote. We have a limit of 22 players.

The instant reward for a word with 14 to 15+ letters is now worth $100. It was previously mentioned that it will start with $5…but that was not an inspiring incentive. An angel came to contribute the starting point to begin with $100. The pot for 12- to 13-letter-word category will have $30 on 11-16-17. To qualify for an instant reward, the word must contain 5 letters or more. Winners of 3 games gets $25, and each bingo word is worth $1. Highest-point bingo is $5, high-point game is 1¢ per point [e.g.,1250 points = $12.50], highest-point cum is $10, and highest-point non-bingo word is $5. Winners of 3 games are not qualified to win the high-point game and the high-point cum. This is done so everyone will get a chance to win something and have fun. Study the assigned categories to enjoy more awards. THE EXAMPLES BELOW are incomplete; some singular or plural variants are missing.

LEARN a long word each day: BODYBUILDINGS=13 letters. You may start with BO, BOD, BODY, BUILD, BODYBUILDING, BODYBUILDINGS. Make compound words to qualify in the 12- to 13-letter-word. Fern Trausch and Yuki Loritz are the winners for playing MISUNDERSTANDINGS=17-letter-word on 10-19-17.

DECEMBER 21, 2017 is scheduled for the next meeting. Announcement will be sent a week prior.
